2014 ATP world tour will consist of 62 tournaments in 31 different countries all over the world. ATP decided to “(…) The extended grass-court swing will be comprised of events in Stuttgart, ‘s-Hertogenbosch, London-Queen’s, Halle, and a new 48-draw event in Nottingham (previously held as a 28-draw in Eastbourne). Newport will continue to be held the week after Wimbledon. In addition, Queen’s and Halle will be re-categorised as ATP World Tour 500 events, bringing the grass-court season additional weight in the 52-week Emirates ATP Rankings with a 75 percent increase in points attributed to the surface.”.

]]>Cristiano Ronaldo was considered by FIFA the best player of the world in 2008 and in 2013, was second best in 2009, 2011 and 2012, and 3rd best in 2007. He is the only player in the world to have won both the Golden Boot and the Ballon d’Or with 2 different teams (Manchester United and Real Madrid).

He scored 294 goals in 286 official games played with Real Madrid’s Jersey with 51 goals in 47 matches in the 2013/2014 season, 17 of them in the Champions League and 9 in the group stage, both marks standing as new records). He has now 41 goals in the 2014/2105 season.

He is now the 3rd best scorer of Real Madrid. Raúl is the best ever with 323…watchout…at this pace two seasons more in Madrid and Ronaldo will get him! Di Stéfano (308) is in between.

In 2010/11 (season in which, like in 2007/08, he received the award for best European scorer- Golden Boot) Cristiano Ronaldo became Real Madrid’s player with most goals in a season (54) beating the record that was in possession of….Puskás! In 2009 he was the first player to win FIFA’s Ferenck Puskás award for the best goal of the year: a 40 metre wide kick into FC Porto nets while he was still playing for Manchester United (see video below).

The 294 goals mark show that Cristiano Ronaldo is awesome in every way since he scores regularly in every competition as well as in different manners, you just have to choose. A real “Goal Focused Beast” as you can see in the tables below:

And on top of these 294 goals he has assisted his teammates 67 times for a goal!

Ronaldo was Spanish Champion in 2010/2011 (scoring 41 goals in 36 matches), also won once the Spanish Cup, and was decisive to the 2012/2013 conquest of Spanish Super Cup against archrivals Barcelona. In 2013/2015 he won his second Champions League after the one conquered while he was at Manchester United.

In Manchester United, where he played for 6 seasons (292 matches) he scored 118 goals (16 in the (Champions League) and assisted his teammates 61 times for a goal . It was precisely with Manchester United that he won (till now) is only Champions League Trophy (2007/2008). He was also 3 times Champion in the English Premier League (in a row from 2006/07 till 2008/2009) and also won a FA Cup.

Before moving to Manchester United in 2003 he took his first steps in Sporting Clube de Portugal, where he played 31 official matches and scored 5 goals. He was Portuguese Champion in 2001/02 and won the Portuguese Cup in that same year. Ronaldo is the best ever scorer of the Portuguese National Team: 52 goals in 117 matches.

]]>Eusébio a former portuguese soccer player (born in Mozambique) and one of the best football players worldwide in the 1960’s and 1970’s, passed away today age 71 (cardiac arrest). Eusébio was the first Portuguese football player that reach worldwide stardom, preceding Luis Figo, Rui Costa and Cristiano Ronaldo.

He was the leading player for Sport Lisboa e Benfica and his reign in Benfica squad was hugely responsible for the slightly bigger popularity of Benfica among the three big Portuguese soccer teams: Sporting Clube de Portugal and Futebol Clube do Porto. He was also the most influential player in the Portuguese National Team with which reached the third place in the 1966 World Cup played in England (still the best result for Portugal in a World Cup).

Probably the best obituary of this soccer legend written so far can be read in the piece by The Guardian’s Gavin McOwan: “Eusébio obituary“. An excerpt:

“Eusébio, who has died aged 71, was the greatest African footballer in the history of the game. He moved from his native Mozambique to the Portuguese club Benfica in 1961, blazing a trail from poverty to stardom that scores of young African footballers would follow, though none since has played with such grace or reached the benchmark he set.

He was the prototype of a complete 21st-century striker, decades ahead of his time; a superb athlete (he ran the 100 metres in 11 seconds at the age of 16) with explosive acceleration who could leave defenders trailing in his wake. He could also dribble, was good in the air and possessed a fearsome and highly accurate right foot. (…)”
